not to the sound of wedding march, for no
music either vocal or instrumental is ever
heard in Quaker meeting house. They
passed on to the platform and seated them
selves facing the little assemblage gath
cred there to witness the ceremony Ten
minutes more of silence, when they rose,
and the couple to be married Joined their
right hands, and the gentleman said in
rather low, but distinct tones:
In the presence of the Lord | take
thee, Ruth Stiles. to be my welded wife,
promising with divine assistance to be unto
thee loving and faithful husband until
death shall separate u.s."
In tremulous tones the bride then re-
peated the same words, merely substituting
David Hip and husband for wife"
They sat down again, and after another
short period of silence one old gentleman
rose and shook hands with another, and
the meeting had closed.
Many friends signed the certificate as
witnesses Of the important ceremony which
had transformed an Indian Mission school
teacher into the wife of well-to-do far
mer.
The bride wore dress of very fine drab
cashmere, made in Quaker fashion, short
waist and plain full skirt. A handsome
collar of delicate lace was fastened beneath
her throat with white geranium blossom
and leaves. Her kid gloves matched her
dress in color, but instead of Quaker
bonnet she wore very stylish hat with
satin loops and ostrich tips corresponding
in hue with dress and gloves.
The groom was attired in dress suit Of
black, such as men usually wear on such
occasions, with no trace of Quaker fashion
about it. The bridesmaid and the grooms-
man were clothed in nearly the same man
ner as the contracting parties.
Hearty congratulations were showered
upon the young people, and everywhere
could hear kindly greetings exchanged
among the people, such as, Daniel, how
does thee do? | am so glad to see thee
here to-day and "Well, Emily, thee did
get out. 1t seems nice to see thee with us
after thy long sickness" One sweet, low
ing old lady addressed me thus: And
what is thy first name? We wish to know
thee well now that thee has come among
| us to teach our little ones. Thee knows
we are not formal people, being friendly
to all."-Detr0i Free Press.

FISH SWIMMING In OIL.
A Strange Discovery on a Prairie Farm
in

in Minnesota.
a dispatch from the town of Albert Lea,
Mimi, says: A few weeks ago this commu-
nifty was excited over the discovery of nat
ural gas upon the farm of A. G. Hazard. a
few miles from this city. Yesterday an
other discovery was made in the same
neighborhood which is more wonderful if
not more important The first intimation
of gaseous deposits was the oil that covered
a small stream flowing through Mr.. Haz-
ards farm. The same phenomenon had
been visible for number of years. Yes
terday morning while two men in the en-
ploy of Mr.. Hazard were digging at the
base of a small hill whence this stream
flowed, they noticed a sudden increase in
the oily deposit. They dug into what
seemed to be natural basin in cleft
formed by two large rocks. The excava-
ton made was rapidly filled with thin,
yellowish oil, and after the hole had been
cleared of debris it filled quite rapidly with
oil, which spouted in thin Jets from the
sides of the basin. A blast was necessary
for further developments This made an
opening two feet wide in the side of the
basin, showing large cavernous hole,
from which proceeded a strong smell Of oil
1t was some time before the men dared to
enter, being afraid of an explosion, but a
safety lamp was procured from an old coal
miner, who also volunteered to explore.
He was gone but few moments when he
returned and called for pail. This was
furnished, and he re-entered the cavern.
When he came out he had the pail full of
the thin, yellowish oil, which, free from
dirt, was clear and translucid But a
greater surprise was at hand. There ap-
peared to be something living in the oil.
Closer examination showed that there
were at least fifty small fish swimming
about in the oil, as lively and unconcerned,
apparently, as speckled trout in his ma
tive stream. The fish averaged from an
inch to two inches long. They were of
bright yellow color, and without scales.
They resembled the fish of the river in
Mammoth Cave in that they had no ewes.
In all other respects, save those mentioned,
they were like the common minnow. Sew
eral pounds of this wonderful variety of
the fnny tribe were taken out. An old
Frenchman, who was once engaged in the
sardine fisheries off the coast of France
prepared some of the fish for the table, and
declared them to be equal to the best sar-
dimes. Several scientific gentlemen are
now analyzlng and experimenting with
the oil, with a view of ascertaining its

A QUAKER WEDDING.
The Manner in Which the Silent People
Get Married.

1t was small square building, painted
white, and like all Friends meeting
houses" there was upon it no spire or Gu
pola, for they deem it sacrilegious to dis
turb the calm of their peaceful "First
Day" with clangor of brazen bell. One au-
tumn Fifth Day." from far and near came
the great old-fashioned carriages, bringing
staid old gentlemen wearing their drab
costumes, of which the broad -brimmed hats
and queer coats were distinctive features
old ladies with placid faces peeping out
from beneath quaint drab bonnets, wearing
plainly-made dresses of the same somber
hue, with nothing save white handker-
chiefs of exquisite fineness crossed beneath
their chins to relieve the severe plainness
of their raiment, and young people mostly
attired after the manner of the "world's
people," all eager to see the rather unusual
sight of a wedding in the meeting house
| entered at the woman's door. The in
terror of the plain building wore an air of
strange simplicity in these days, when
cushioned pews and elegant carpets are
seen In nearly all the churches. The pine
floor was white and clean. A dozen straight
backed seats were on either side of mar
row aisle, and fronting these were four
others on raised platform. a common
box-stove stood in the corner, and also a
small walnut table on which was lying a
roll of paper which proved to be the mar
riage certificate. The. sliding partition,
which was open on the occasion, showed
us the mems side of the house was simi-
larly furnished with the exception of the
table
The male portion of the audience sat
with their hats ON, and both men and wo-
men had their heads bent slightly forward,
with eyes half closed, as if engaged in
silent devotion. No fresh arrival caused
one face to turn toward the door to see
who the new conner was Even little chill
dren, whose mischieYous pranks sorely

no air Of expectancy on any countenance

INSANE FROM GRIEF.
Sad Result of the Late Ocean Horror on
ENGLAND.

England.
CLEVELAND (O.) November 24th-A
little over year ago there came to this city
from Germany a man named Gustave
Friedle, an honest, hard-working fellow,
whose aim in live was to secure enough
money by his labor to bring his beloved
wife and children to this country from their
home in the fatherland. Friedle soon found
work in an East End manufactery, and by
hard labor and many privations to himself
he managed few weeks ago to secure
money enough to pay the passage to this
country of his loved ones. He bought the
tickets from ticket broker in this city,
spending his last cent in the pasteboards,
and with joyful heart he wrote a long and
happy letter to his wife, inclosing the
tickets.
her family of five children bade adieu to
their fearful relations and friends, and
boarded the Netherland Line steamer w.
A. Scholten. A few hours later the vessel
steamed out of the harbor and commenced
its voyage across the Atlantic ocean.
On Sunday night it met with a
terrible disaster While passing through
the English Channel in fog the vessel
collided with the screw steamer Rose
mary, and in few moments the
Scholten sank to the bottom of the Chan
nel, carrying Win IL lOZ OI the passengers.
The news was published in the city papers
on Monday morning, but it was late in the
afternoon before the terrible intelligence
reached the ears of Gustave Friedle. He
was terribly stunned at first, but he soon
recovered his senses and hastened to the
Office of the agents OF the Netherland line
in this city. Here a full list of the saved
had been received, but not one of the un-
fortunate Germans family was named
Freddie begged the agent time and again to
look over the list once more, and when his
worst fears were at once realized he almost
tainted.
A friend who had accompanied him led
him home, and fruitless attempts were
made to comfort him. He was wild with
grief, and since he received the news of the
fate of his family he has done nothing but
walk up and down his room, wringing his
hands and crying oct for his wife and
children. A later cablegram to the Office
of the steamship company confirms the re-
port of the drowning of the entire family.
The latest reports are that poor Freddie has
gone completely insane

Fatal Collision.
tsrEc1AL DISPATCHES TO THE EEOoRD-uuos.I
THE ANARCHIST PLATFORM.
Testimony Brought Out at Her Most's
Trial Yesterday.

lCopygl, 1857, by Tie California Associated Prcssl
NEW YORK, November 25th.-During
Herr Most's trial to-day Morris Schultze,
Most's TRADES, was cross examined by At
torney Nicoll.
Is 1t proposed to bring about social
revolution by force?" Nicoll queried.
THAT depends entirely upon the be-
havior of the ruling classes
Then, if the ruling classes behave them
selves according to the ideas of the Anarch-
lists, no force will be resorted to ?"
Certainly not; it depends entirely upon
the ruling classes-pressure evolves pres
sure"
Schenck. printer, who has served a
nine-months' term for an Anarchistic de-
monstration, was also cross examined.
What do you understand by the prin-
ciples of Anarchism?'
Answer" To rule the people without
Kings or Princes. Presidents or Legisla
lures; without social or legal contracts,
without Courts Of Justice"
MORE OF THE SAME SORT.
Counsel for the defense in his opening
address declared that it was not Most but
free speech that was on trial. He declared,
among other things, that he would prove
that when one of Must's auditors wanted
to begin the work of destruction at once,
Most counseled patience.
Adolph Schenck, who was convicted
with Most last year for taking part in an
unlawful assemblage, was the first witness.
Officer Sachs had testified that Shenck had
presided at the meeting and introduced Most.
Schenck swore that he was on Staten Island
on the night in question. He admitted
that he was an Anarchist, and in favor
of bringing about a revolution in society
by force, if necessary. He described
anarchy as condition of things wherein
the people rule themselves in communities
without any State or general Government,
without courts and without law. Common
sense should be the only rule of conduct
There should be no punishment for wrong
doing, except . guilty persons own con-
science, which in time would set him right.
Schultzer testified that Most had not
recommended any assassinations or coun-
seled any violations of the law.
Emil Kasse said that Most made NO
threats. Witness did not know whether
the United States was a republic or mon
archy; he had not studied our form of gov.
eminent.

A WONDERFUL EcHo-There is, near
Boston, in that part of Newton known as
the Upper Falls, most remarkable and
magnificent structure justly called Echo
Bridge" People from distance visit it
as one of the wonders of New England.
The bris.se is about 500 feet long and has
seven arches. Six of these have spans of
thirty-seyen feet each, but the seventh is
130 feet, tbe second in size on this eonti-
nent, and one of the largest stone arches
in the world. But the most wonderful
feature of this structure is the "echo," from
which it derives its name. An ordinary
shout will be repeated from fifteen to
twenty times, and if is said that pistol
shot will create upward of twenty-five
echoes. A party of visitors shouted the

SULPHUR AGAINST SCARLET FEVER
We find in an exchange a glowing
account of effective protection which a
mother unconsciously gave to her children
who were extremely exposed to scarlet
fever, by administering sulphur and molas-
ses for milder skin disease. People
should be warned against trifing with so
insidious drug as sulphur, the psora of
which often taints the system for years or
for life, with pernicious effects riyaling
those of mercury and quinine. Ofthe two
evils choose the least, .he risk Of scarlet
fever, which, indeed, may usually be
avoided BY simple caution.

Use of stimulants In Central Africa.


As to the liquor question, there is no
doubt that many men out here ruin their
health by excessive drinking; but think
that many other, chiefly missionaries, ruin
their by a mistaken and exaggerated alb
stinence. Stanley recommends two or
three ounces of good wine every evening
after sunset, and / find that most men who
have passed any time on the Congo agree
with him. Every one becomes more or less
anemic after short residence in this
climate; and man who feels himself get
ting uncomfortably weak, with a strong
desire for stimulants, may injure himself
by frequent use Of them-and, as a matter
Of fact, many do SO on the lower river,
where liquor is plentiful. A teetotaler, on
the other hand, will most likely be pros
trated by sickness, when the timely use of
little wine would have kept up his
strength. As friend of mine, who has
passed some years out here puts it, "a
cocktail every night before dinner, if it
does not save you altogether from anemla,
will enable you to get through your term
of three years, and leave you in good health
at the end; but if you take to drinking, in
any quantity, at any hour of the day, you
will soon have to clear out of the country
if you wish to keep alive" The effect OF
brandy drunk under hot sun is to cause
burning pain in the region of the liver
and | have seen men who have spent two
years out here choking and gasping for
breath after less than half wineglassful
of neat brandy taken in the middle of the
day.-BIeckuoof Mdqazine.

IS published, in which he refers to the
"grotesque episode of O'Brien's clothes.
He says O'BIien isnot treated in Tullamore

also says that if O'Brieu refuses to wear the

him, There is no reason why he should
not fulfill his term in prison, but he cannot

San Francisco, November 25th.-ISpe-
cial. .l-Contrary to general expectation,
Judge Sullivan to-day granted Robert f.
Morrow change of venue to Sonoma
county, on his second trial for attempting
to bribe juror in the Wright case. The
impression exists that he would stand a
better chance before an average San Fran
cisco jury than one composed of hard
headed, honest grangers in the interior.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 25th.-[Spe-

Hayes, attorneys for the prosecution in the
Morrow case, were seen to-day after the de-
cision granting r. f. Morrow change OF
venue was made known. Both said they
were willing to continue the prosecution in
Sonoma county if sufficient fee was al
lowed. Fiournoy said he was out of pocket
on the case already, and would not further
undertake the case without special CON-
pensation. Hayes also said he would not
continue without fee.
